Haven't written in a while… I feel like my writing skills have gotten worse :( Anyways, here's chapter 4. I hope you enjoy!
(Lucy's POV)
For the next few days, I didn't talk to Natsu. I was totally heartbroken, and I felt like nothing really mattered to me anymore. I didn't care about how I did in school, and I just slept through all the lessons in school and flunked every test. It wasn't soon before Makarov called me to his office after school.
"Lucy, what's wrong? This isn't like you! Even though you aren't the best of students, I can usually tell that you are trying hard… does this have anything to do with Natsu?" Makarov asked.
"It's none of your business." I replied hesitantly.
"Yes it is. Lucy, I am still one of your teachers. I am responsible for your learning and your education. I want you to tell me what's wrong." Makarov insisted.
"Well, I am trying my best. It's just that I'm stupid. Got a problem with that?" I retorted, my anger rising up.
"Okay then. Well, if this keeps up then I will have no choice but to expel you. Fairy Tail Academy doesn't accept students with poor grades. And if I expel you, you'll cause your father more trouble, and you may not even get an education anymore. Your records show that you've been expelled from four schools before coming to this one. You don't want to make this your fifth. And if you DO get expelled, you won't be able to make any further progress with Natsu. You can go now." Makarov told me. That hit me hard. I won't be able to see Natsu anymore if I get expelled. I can't let that happen. I haven't given up on him yet.
I headed out of the door swiftly and then bumped into somebody.
"Sorry" I said then I continued walking down the hallway.
"Lucy?" I heard a call. I turned round to look at the person who bumped into me.
"Oh. Hey Gray." I mumbled.
"What's wrong? You don't seem very happy." Gray asked.
"Nah…It's nothing." I sighed.
"Want me to walk you home?"
"Ok whatever…"
"Don't sound so gloomy, I know you're excited!" Gray joked.
"So, why were you staying back after school?" Gray questioned.
"Oh…umm…detention." I lied. "Wait, why were you staying so late after school?"
"Oh I had to go borrow some stuff from the library. You know. For the History assignment." He told me.
"What? We have a History Assignment?" I exclaimed in surprise. I knew I've been slacking, but I couldn't believe I missed out on an entire assignment!
"Yea. I need a partner for it though. Because it's a two people presentation. You got a partner yet?" he said.
"No. I don't even know what it's about." I replied.
"Be my partner! I can help you! I'm an expert at History. I can come over to your house or something. I'd like to see your dad as well. I haven't seen him in ages!" Gray said excitedly.
"Okay." We stopped by my house and I waved him goodbye and went into my house.
"Bye Lucy!" Gray yelled.
"Bye." I replied.
It was a weekend, and Gray was apparently coming over to my house to see my dad and to do the history assignment with me, so I decided to pack up my stuff and at least make my room look neat. Suddenly, I heard the doorbell ring so I went to get the door.
"Hey Lucy!" Gray cried.
"Hey Gray." I welcomed. Gray walked in and he looked around.
"Wow. Your house is still as big as ever eh?" He walked around the hallway. "Where's your dad?"
"He's busy. He told me to tell you he said hi. He's got a lot on and he said he can't be disturbed." I replied.
"Oh. That's a shame." He said. "So which…which one is your room?" he gestured at all the doors and rooms.
"Yea, follow me." I took him up the stairs and I walked him to my room.
"May I go in?" Gray asked, and I nodded. "Wow…looks pretty ordinary to me. I thought it'll be more…more expensive…" he commented.
"Ok, shall we get to work?" he plopped himself onto my bed.
"Don't make yourself so much at home!" I pouted.
"Ha-ha, don't be a spoil sport. Wait… what's that?" He grabbed my big teddy bear from underneath my blankets.
"Give that back!" I flushed and I tried to grab it but he was too quick and he pranced around taunting me.
"Come and get it Luuuuucy! Ha-ha, I can't believe you still have these kinda stuff!" He laughed.
"Give it back you asshole!" I yelled.
"Whoa calm down I'm just having fun. We're buddies right?" He put his arm around me and waved the bear in my face.
"Ok let's do some work." I said. I went to get Gray a chair but when I came back he was sitting on my chair NAKED, and was clicking away at my computer.
"WHAT THE FLYING F*** DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" I screamed. I stood there shocked, but at the same time admiring his muscles and he's abs.
"Oh shit! When did that happen?" Gray exclaimed and he quickly put on his shirt.
"Does that usually happen?" I asked incredulously.
"Yea…Sorry. Just a habit." He explained sheepishly.
"Just a habit…" I mumbled and shook my head.
"Haha sorry." I sat on the chair I just brought into my room, and we did research and we made a nice slideshow on Microsoft PowerPoint. Gray did most of the work of course, although I don't think he really minded. I took care of the snacks and the lunch, and I think fell asleep when I was bored because I had no idea what we were studying.
"Hey wanna continue tomorrow?" Gray suddenly interrupted my little nap.
"Whaa? What's going on?" I got up stiffly and I looked at Gray. He just chuckled and he saved all of the work onto his USB and got up.
"C'mon let's go out and get some fresh air. It's 3:00pm. We've worked for around 6 hours already." Gray told me and he shut down my computer and unplugged his USB.
"OK" I said stupidly. I was still half-asleep and I just followed him.
"Don't be such a sleepyhead Lucy. You know I have no idea where we're going?" Gray said playfully and he picked me up and piggybacked me around the hall.
"Stop! Stop you idiot!" I fully woke up now, and I started hitting his head and told him to put me down.
"WHEEEE! I'm superman!" Gray ran around at full speed and I hung on for dear life. "There's the exit!" In one swift movement, he whipped open the door and ran out of my house. Finally, after what seemed like ages, he put me down in a park and sat next to me.
"Do you always go around abducting people?" I questioned angrily.
"No…but you know. I sometimes abduct the people that I…love." Gray said. For a long moment, I tried to process what he just said. But then, Gray just leaned in and kissed me on the lips.
Added some GrayLu into this haha! The reason why I didn't update was because i kinda forgot about this fanfic, and i was too busy watching other anime until Fairytail came back on April the 4th :) And then i just couldn't be bothered. Anyways, i hope you enjoy, i added a bit of pot twist into this chapter, but i did say this story was going to be NaLu i think...Anyways hope you guys enjoyed!
